Oh, say, ean you see, by the dawn's early light.
What so proudly vte hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts jve watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, p
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the. home of the brave?
•r f j ✓
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty hopt in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now- it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner; oh, long may it .wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the liravp.
Oh, thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
Between their loved home .and wild war’s desolation;
Blest with vict’rv and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!” t
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Even if tl^s* estimate were reduced
by half, the waste would still be
enormous. The food waste in the
household, the experts assert, re-
sults in large measure from had
preparation and bad cooking,
from improper care and handling,
and, in well-to-do families, from
serving - an undue number of
courses and an overabundant sup-
